“Lust, desire, ecstasy, repression, obsession — the world of art, fashion, and design abounds with specimens of eroticism and sexuality in their infinite variety. Looking back on the thorough revision of society’s ideas about sexuality in the past three decades, the book inquires into how the works of visual artists, fashion creatives, and designers reflect today’s public debates over gender roles, power structures, and sexual violence or the fading of taboos over sexual practices.” (publishers’ blurb) Artists inclue Hermann Naumann, Nobuyoshi Araki, Cindy Shermann, Peaches, Daniel Kruger, Vivienne Westwood, Andrea Grossi, Keith Haring, Leigh Bowery, Birgit Bieker, and many more.
